Because of my film background, I joined the media ministry of my church several years ago. I am one of the camera operators who video records church services and events. Since we are currently in the middle of our Vacation Bible School, I have the privilege of working among the thousand plus kids who have come for a week of fun and Bible learning.
I especially enjoy taping the worship services. We have a youth band that plays lively worship songs that the kids sing and dance to with great enthusiasm. Kids sing loud and some even sing off key. They don’t care how they sound. They just want to worship.
The band also plays a quieter song where the kids can pour their hearts out to the Lord. I have even seen little first graders closing their eyes and raising their hands in worship. Too bad many of us adults don’t have that child-like faith when it comes to praising God in song. Yes, we may raise our hands for a song or two, but we don’t carry the same zeal as a young child who doesn’t care if his neighbor is lifting up his hands or singing out of tune.
We need to put aside our inhibitions and worship the Lord with a complete heart. We need to copy the enthusiasm of a child and sing loud and long. It is God, the King of king and Lord of lords, who we are singing to, not the person sitting next to us. God doesn’t care if we have perfect pitch. He looks at our heart and the fervor we have for Him.
